Indian Per capita gdp is now stand 325 dollar higher than Bangladesh.Bangladesh expected to narrow this gap in coming years and eventually overtake much to the discomfort of Bhakt/Shanghis who are engaged in a smear campaign against Bangladesh for the so called 'illegal Bangladeshi' which is nothing but demonstration of severe inferiority complex on part of them.

Except that its not! If anything, that gap is expected to widen between India and Bangladesh.

If your mathematical skill is anything to go by, and if Bangladesh doesn't raise its education standards, I d say the chances of Bangladesh overtaking India are slim to zero.

Well Done Bangladesh.. Things looking bright, Just a couple of hundred dollars separate GDP per Capita with much larger economies in the region, Wont take long to catch up the way your economy is progressing.. Kudos

IMF estimates have always been quite conservative when it comes to Bangladesh. You can check their previous estimates on Bangladesh and compare them with current data.

Congratulations... Bangladesh... Way to go...

Doyalbaba,

I am glad that you agree that BD is progressing well. I hope you will agree that part of the credit goes to Shrimati Hasina. Lets hope that she remains the PM of BD for some while.

Last year gap was 346 dollar,now it is 325.Although IMF projection showed widening of gap.You can cross check their projection vs actual per capita for last couple of years for Bangladesh.It showed widening of gap with India,but actually it decreased.

Agree India and Bangladesh values should widen for 2 reasons.

I assume India and Bangladesh have the same fertility rates

I assume India will have greater future economic growth

@Species

What are you even talking about, these are estimates and projections, and they change.

According to the April 2016 WEO,

2016 Bangladesh Per capita GDP was $1400, and 2016 India per capita GDP was $1747, a difference of $347.

2017 Bangladesh per capita GDP was supposed to be $1511, and India's per capita was supposed to be $1874 a difference of $363.

However, according to the latest WEO, from April 2017,

2016 Bangladesh Per capita GDP was $1411, and 2016 India per capita GDP was $1723, a difference of $322.

2017 Bangladesh per capita GDP was supposed to be $1524, and India's per capita was supposed to be, $1850 a difference of $326.

These are estimates once again, they change, depending on the growth rate and exchange rates. You can not take estimates from one year and compare it to series of estimates from another year, and claim oh look the gap is widening, that's just retarded.

As you can see, even though little, given the almost identical growth rates, the gap between the two countries has still increased, from 2016 to 2017. However with the effects of demonetization behind us and with gst and other economic reforms in place, India's growth is expected to zoom ahead.

Unless Bangladesh achieves a growth rate significantly higher than that of India(not going to happen), or the Bangladeshi Takka strengthens significantly (again not going to happen given its effect on exports), I don't see Bangladesh closing the gap anytime soon if not never. In fact as I said earlier, India is poised to pull further ahead of Bangladesh, and the latest estimates from the IMF support my claims.
